Help me out here - is this a young cockerel or pullet?

Okay I am pretty sure on this, however, my husband and dad still contend she is a she due to the yellowish comb and fairly close to feathering out at the same rate as our other girls. I am a little concerned about the comb size though.

is five weeks old at the time of these pictures.

That's not a girl... I almost question if it's a leghorn at all but I don't have much experience with them. My white leghorns are all pullets, are around 4 or 5 months old and have barely noticable combs.
 
That is definitely a ROO! I didn't know I had a male when I got mine but when they hit the same age as yours he had a comb like that. All the girls bariliy had combs. One thing that helps in ID-ing leghorns is compare them to thier male femalle counterparts, not different breeds. Leghorns mature and develop very quickly, much faster than all my other chickens. If he turns out sweet and you can keep a roo, I would suggest you keep him they get soo pretty and have good voices!

BTW: I love my leghorns I think they are a great breed!
